Advice on Black & White in Bootcamp needed please
Okay so I bought my niece the latest MBP 2.5Ghz 512vram and now she wants to play Black & White 2 in windows XP via Bootcamp on it, but before I commit her Mum into buying the game I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice as to whether or not they think it would run well?

The spec for the game are as follows:-

Supported OS: Windows® XP/2000
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 (or equivalent) 1.6GHz or higher
RAM: 512MB
Video Card: DirectX® 9c compatible (video card must have 64MB or more memory and support Pixel Shader version 1.1. The following chipsets are supported: NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti series, GeForce FX series, 6200 or greater ATI Radeon 8500, 9100, 9200 or greater, X300 or greater)
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible
Hard Drive Space: at least 3.5GB free hard disk space

Thanks

Black and White is a fairly old game (2002 I think), so it will fly on the MacBook Pro
